Well, I don't know if destroying the foundations of biology will really "uproot the economy", since the only useful application of biological science is medicine. As long as there are still physicists (to teach engineers to build stable structures) and chemists (to tech drug manufacturers how to run meth labs), the state will probably continue to see economic prosperity. Maybe lifespans will be reduced slightly as people rely more on homeopathic medicine and exorcism, but at least this will prevent any antibiotic-resistant bacteria from evolving in Kansas.
Better yet, just add your own dots so that they trace it back to someone else's serial number and a date in the future.
Or, if you're lazy, just set the date on your printer to some point in the distant future. That way, when the USSS comes to your door, you can claim, "I haven't counterfitted any money... YET!". It'll be just like minority report.
It's not fair to blame his parents or television. Most likely, he played too many "lawyer simulation" games as a child and now thinks he's qualified to be a lawyer.
Enforce copyrights, as long as the complainant is the original author/performer.
Rather than this, why not make it so that copyrights belong to the original author/performer, are non-transferable, and cannot exceed the life of the copyright holder.

Server applications can be load-levelled across a cluster without modification if the load-balancing is done on the process level. Apache has no problems load-balancing on an openssi cluster, since the individual processes don't depend on eachother.
Actually esoteric languages are a useful test to give potential employees. If they say that they can learn any language in an afternoon, ask them to implement a rot13 in brainfuck or a quicksort in intercal.
If such changes are made in the next GPL, we probably won't see very many people using it. The release of a new version does not automagically upgrade all software licensed under v2 of the GPL. Among other things, it violates the discrimination clause of the OSI policy, as well as the debian policy.
MS could do what they always do and make a broken half-implementation of OO.o support. Then they can publicise that they're supporting open formats, when in reality they're trying to make them look bad.
And I'm sure people would use coldfusion if it weren't so horrendously broken. The language contains multiple tags that do practically the same thing, but can only be nested in specific ways. There are multiple ways to extract that value of a variable, and the correct one to use isn't always clear. Not to mention, it will break and provide useless error messages if you're using the wrong JVM.
As one of my coworkers said, "Coldfusion is the only language that made me question whether I had errors in my code or whether the implementation itself was broken."
The entire Jakarta Project is an attept to reinvent as many wheels as possible using XML and Java. Ant is a good example of how they take a decent idea for a program (make) and rewrite a broken version in Java with unmaintainable XML syntax.
But, most of the time, you still do have to check the code, because at some point, you're going to have perform some I/O and suddenly the program as a whole is no longer stateless. And programming in a purely functional environment does not make code inherently readable, it's the programmer's job to do that.
The determined real programmer can write FORTRAN programs in any language. In some ways, functional languages offer unparalleled obfuscation. Like this Haskell function: a x = 2:[y | y <- [1..x], mod (foldl (*) 2 [1..y-1]) y > 0]
My last employer conducted a series of genetic tests and then proceeded to fire all of us and replace the entire staff with monkeys, since they're 99% identical to humans but work for bananas.

Are you honestly going to suggest that people buy iPods for any reason other than the appearance?
It's not just a core function, it's the core function.

The article was about optimizing development, not optimizing code.

I'd gladly let my tax dollars be used for that $9.95 update.
For all intensive purposes, they got the message across.

Once again, PERL has lost out due to Java's Hype.
Where's my $2?
You know, for women, they're just refered to as "boobs", not "man-boobs".

It's not just the flash controls. The HTML controls in ColdFusion are pretty inflexible and useless for most web development tasks.
30 fucking dollars, give me a break.

My car gets 30 rods to the hogshead and that's the way i like it.

yes, this certainly will make a fine replacement for dillo.

And it's based on the Duke Nukem Forever Engine!
